Honey Dew Donuts in Plainville

[edit] History

Honey Dew Donuts was founded by Richard J. Bowen in Mansfield, Massachusetts in 1973. His aim was to create a dry and affordable donut that appealed to the hard working New Englander. Today these dry, almost coarse pastries have become a trademark of the brand. The first Honey Dew Donut franchise in Mansfield, Massachusetts was founded in 1975. The Plainville franchise was the first donut shop with a drive-through in New England. Other notable franchises include the Fall River, Massachusetts site, the first donut store to house a heavy-metal-only jukebox, and the Lowell, Massachusetts franchise, the host of the bi-annual Mike Greenwell Memorial Donut Eating Competition. During the recession in the 80’s they became known for their Super Saver Deal which was a coffee flavored donut.

Today, there are more than 150 franchises of Honey Dew Donuts in New England.[1] Honey Dew's main competitors today are Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, and McDonald's.
